The easiest is to leave the Byond decoder on standby mode when you're not using it. Mine updated in that way. Else someone posted in pages back that you need to press certain button on decoder when you reboot it to force an update.

Press the 3 buttons from left to right (power, up, down (or down, up, forgot the second button is up or down) ), then the decoder is boot itself and check for auto-update. If I not mistaken, current firmware is 23-Dec-2009.

I am the new Astro Subscriber.. started end of December 2009, on the day they installed the normal Dish/DMT, I applied Astro Byond and it get me installed Byond just in 5 days time (including weekend)
took the RM30 package (Installation Charge only)
Condition : 2 years contract and subscription cannot less then RM55.xx if not mistaken.
dunno if i kena con or not.. just now Astro call me to ask if I want to subscribe Astro On Demand..
2 months promotion : RM25 each month
Can cancel it after the promotion period....

Haih... just now didnt think too much and agree with the deal.. sad.gif

RM25/month for AOD is OK if you have time to watch and like TVB drama. I think normal price is about RM4x. But remember to cancel it after 2 month else the price will back to normal.....ALSO remember AOD is NOT HD. TVB HK is showing their drama in HD but when AOD will start HD sweat.gif blush.gif

Same things happen here. Sometimes when switching on the TV power using B.yond remote, the TV AV input will change to TV1. I'm doing exactly what you're doing, pressing the AV bottom on B.yond remote again. But I notice, giving the button a shorter press, will reduce the change of this happening. Me using Panasonic LCD. This doesn't really bother me much though. I can't wait for the PVR function.

The "mute" button also send to TV and not to B.yond box to mute the sound sad.gif

ESPN HD:

Astro have said before this ESPN HD will be available in January 2010
We thoughit would be 1st January 2010. We were wrong..
Now the general belief is that the launch date would be the end of January 2010..30 or 31st
Now I dont know if this has anything to do with the launch but

ARSENAL Vs MANCHESTER UNITED
31st January 2010

This is on SkySports HD in the UK and on normal ESPN here
So maybe Astro want to make big impact for the ESPN HD launch

Does anybody know when ESPNEWS ASIA will launch on Astro?

I hope ESPN-HD will broadcast difference content with ESPN-SD, just like History-HD & NatGeo-HD.
F1/BPL in ESPN-HD instead of StartSport rclxms.gif thumbup.gif
